| [Rudaw] A drone targeted a car on Monday killing four people and injuring another in Sulaimani province’s Hajiawa district, according to local police. “A drone bombed a Toyota Land Cruiser in Hajiawa, killing four people,” Daru Qadir, spokesperson for the Raparin police, told Rudaw, adding that the victims have yet to be identified. Hajiawa is affiliated to the Raparin administration. One person was slightly injured as he was riding his motorcycle past the site targeted by the drone, according to Mustafa Rasoul, director of the Raparin police. He added that two of the victims who lost their lives were women, while the other two were men. The victims were from northeast Syria (Rojava), according to information obtained by Rudaw’s Abubakir Ismail. Locals told Rudaw that they witnessed the moment a white drone struck the car. It is not clear who carried out the attack but Turkey has previously carried out many airstrikes in the area, targeting alleged Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members. PKK media blamed Turkey for the attack. |
